It is difficult to understand why a list would stop archiving without throwing and logging exceptions. Even if ArchRunner were somehow not running, the messages would be queued in its queue and processed when it eventually started. >> You should also consider running the contrib/mmdsr script from the >> Mailman source distro or if not that, somehow looking a Mailman's error >> log frequently for problems to discover them sooner. > > We have a few more hosts to upgrade, so I'll have to look more closely at > this.

It won't directly tell you if messages are not being archived, but it will give you a listing of what's in Mailman's queues and various error log entries. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
